Looks like another month and they couldn't do better than 1.5MOA:

Quoted: Meh. It's fine by me where it's at. It's on par with most battle rifles on the planet, and I personally don't utilize bullpups for long distance work anyway. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Meh. It's fine by me where it's at. It's on par with most battle rifles on the planet, and I personally don't utilize bullpups for long distance work anyway. For a better part of year and a half of extra testing on the rifle we have come to the conclusion that the Tavor 7 will not get the accuracy of 1.5 MOA that we set out to get. Overall the weapon system as a whole was never designed in a way to achieve this 1.5MOA. It was designed to shoot minute of man on today’s battle fields with a high degree of reliability. In the last update I posted we got it down around the 1.5MOA but we gave up too much in other areas so that simply wasn’t the answer. |

As long as M80 ball delivers M80 ball performance...that is all that matters to me...

Yeah they were saying their sample rifles were averaging 2.3 MOA. I really wanted that MOA precision, but I said awhile back I would be fine with battle-rifle level accuracy and I stand by that. It’s a .308 Tavor, not a precision gun. I have precision guns, but I do not yet have a .308 Tavor. At the end of the day, 2.3 MOA is still respectable, and better than a lot of rifles.

As long as M80 ball delivers M80 ball performance...that is all that matters to me... The U.S. military's accuracy standard for M80 Ball (boxed or on stripper clips) is a mean average radius of 5 inches at 600 yards for all groups tested from a given lot of ammunition. That measurement loosely equates to a 10-inch circle or approximately 1.6 MOA at that distance. |

Keep waiting to see all these crowds of 1.0 MOA capable shooters to post up there 5 shot groups to show how they can shoot to the mechanical accuracy of a rifle. Bonus pints for doing it without a lead sled or benchrest. Double bonus points for doing it with the average rack grade mass production AR-15 most of them own.

Quoted: My favorite are the ones making those claims with mil spec fmj. Yeah ammo that’s like 2 now capable from the inherent inconsistency round to round but internet cherry pick boasting everything is moa or better. Usually no pics with these claims or a cherry picked one with “fliers” or “those other holes are from *insert excuse here*” if there are any. View Quote |

Sven Manticore Arms View Quote $900 AR shooting .62moa with a 50gr HSM load, off a bipod and rear bag. Yeah, a lot of tacti-wannabe folks make bullshit accuracy claims all the time, that is what the challenge/callout system is for. But a lot of people (including myself) can put a rifle that is capable of 1moa or better to good use. Tavor 7 still has a role, but without high levels of accuracy that role is considerably reduced. |

Or lets put it another way:
If the average shooter shoots 3-5 moa out of a 1 moa gun... whats that shooter gonna do with a T7? (& I wanted one, I really did... still want a Atrax export/AR model too) |

Precise rifles are always preferable to non-precise rifles, all things else equal. But all things often aren’t equal, and their post was worded such that it sounded like they were compromising on other factors just to get it down to around 1.5 MOA. I can see why they wouldn’t want to compromise on those areas, whatever they were, for that <.8 MOA in gained precision.
Precision is the sum of the inconsistencies of the system. Ammo, rifle, environment, shooter, etc. If their setup did 2.3 MOA all things considered, that’s not bad. Not amazing, but not bad. It’s a bullpup “battle rifle” not a benchrest gun. I’ve shot my Tavor from a bench when zeroing it, it’s a huge pain in the ass. |

I talked with IWI at Triggrcon in Bellevue, WA.
They said the 7 is being readied for shipment and should arrive at dealers in mid August. No date on the TS12 shotgun. |

Anybody doing preorders? Or.. good places to expect these to pop up?
|
|
Last I saw they said the end of August. August of this year. So, three weeks.

I’m fuzzy on this as I have a standard Tavor, not an X95, but I believe it’s the X95 grip with IDF side panels. It should be shipping with the saber style enclosed grip.. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

2.3 MOA with M80 or Federal Match Gold 168gr, its a big difference...

2.3 MOA with M80 or Federal Match Gold 168gr, its a big difference... View Quote That number was not made using the GD standard of measuring MOA precision by taking the best 3 of 5 shots of the best single group shot all day. I think our standards here are often a little mismatched with reality. A real-world no BS 2.3(ish) MOA precision average, especially from a semi-auto .308 duty-oriented bullpup, is absolutely fine by me. |

Im very interested in this rifle for reasons I cannot figure out

Is it true that only 7.62 nato is recommended and no .308? I have seen this mentioned a couple times.

Is it true that only 7.62 nato is recommended and no .308? I have seen this mentioned a couple times. They likely put 7.62X51 because they’re a military manufacturer and sell largely to military clients. But like most everyone else that makes modern 7.62X51 rifles, they make them to handle .308. This is like when ARs say .223. Yeah some of the older ones meant exactly that, but these days the two are used interchangeably so much in common parlance because manufacturers label them whichever is convenient, but by and large, make them to handle 5.56 pressures. |

I've got one shipping to me for a Labor Day hog hunt. I'll let you know my thoughts on it

The location of the ejection port presents the single biggest tactical weakness of the bullpup configuration. If IWI could've implemented switchable ejection similar to the Beretta ARX, I would be all over this rifle. As it is, having to pull the carrier & rotate & reinsert the bolt is only slightly less cumbersome than the 5.56 Tavor series. I'm a little surprised they didn't go the extra mile on th ou s particular feature.
